9/2 – Yankees vs. Athletics

Tim Britton spotting Bryan Hoch, who’s off to celebrate 90210 Day (September 2, 2010, folks). The Yankees will be looking for their the series sweep, their seventh win in a row over Oakland and their sixth straight win overall. With a win, the Bombers will finish the year 9-1 versus the A’s — the franchise’s best mark against the Athletics since 1919, when they were the A’s were a short drive away in Philadelphia.

We’re obviously behind here, commenting on the Jays game on the A’s blog. Anyway, you made your point Robert about the Jays fans. I guess for whatever reason everyone loves to hate the Yankees. It’s probably envy and the fact that they have so much more money to spend on their team. It’s the “tall poppy” syndrome, needing to cut the other guy who’s on top down to size. Anyway, good win for the Yankees with Jeter and Swisher and ARod out of the lineup. Hopefully Swish will be back today and ARod tomorrow. It will be interesting to see whether ARod is in game shape or not and how long it will take him to get back where he was before injury. Which Javy will show up today? Hopefully the good one. Go Yankees.
